A Biofuels Manifesto The following text is a serious 'pamphlet' in which the rationale for the development of a biofuels industry in the Global South is clarified. The Manifesto was written by John Mathews, professor of Strategic Management at Macquarie University, Sydney. It contains a strong 12 point argumentation in favor of biofuels in the developing world.  The document can be accessed in the following formats: A Biofuels Manifesto - *.html version [online soon] A Biofuels Manifesto - *.pdf version A Biofuels Manifesto - *.flash version [online soon] Dedicated forum Serious comments and questions about the Manifesto are welcome at our discussion forum dedicated to the text. We understand that the future of bioenergy and biofuels in the South is controversial. This is why we would like to hear your ideas, critiques and suggestions. The Manifesto can be seen as an 'open text', a first guideline that will lead to a broad discussion on the many different aspects of bioenergy and biofuels production in the developing world.

industrial development pathways, that did not take into explicit
consideration the issue of energy technologies to be utilized, now
imperil development prospects around the world. As oil supplies
approach their peak globally, and energy security becomes a major
issue, so developing countries have everything to lose by simply
following fossil-fuel based industrialization, and everything to gain
by recasting their development strategies around the prospects for
renewable energies and biofuels."
